Saul Alinsky’s son: “Obama learned his lesson well”

"In Artful Dodger style, Barack Obama, plays down his mentorship with Communist author Saul Alinsky. But Alinsky’s son, L. David Alinsky, credits Obama for 'learning his lesson well' from the Communist guru."

"'Alinsky considered himself a realist above all, the ultimate pragmatist.' (American Thinker, Aug. 30, 2008). 'As a confirmed atheist, Alinsky believed that the here and now is all there is, and therefore had no qualms about assorted versions of morality in the pursuit of worldly power. He didn’t coddle his radical acolytes or encourage their bourgeois distinctions between good and evil when it came to transferring power from the Haves to the Have Nots. Alinsky saw the already formed church communities as being the perfect springboards for agitation and creating bonds for demanding goods and services.'”
